Adirondack Troll Adventure

Looking to continue the adventure beyond The Wild Center? Visitors can also take part in the Adirondack Troll Adventure, an interactive digital scavenger hunt happening throughout the Tupper Lake region. Inspired by the giant troll sculptures created by Thomas Dambo, smaller hidden trolls can be discovered at participating local businesses, shops, restaurants, and attractions. Participants can follow a digital passport map, check in at Troll Stops, and explore more of the community while unlocking fun surprises along the way. Complete six Troll Stops to earn a special TROLLS: Save the Humans themed reward. Learn more at Troll Adventure.

Know before you go: TROLLS: Save the Humans

The response to TROLLS: Save the Humans has been incredible, and The Wild Center is welcoming some of the highest visitation in its history. We can't wait to welcome you! Here are a few tips to help make the most of your visit.

Expect lines during peak times. Weekends and late mornings through early afternoons are the busiest, so you may experience waits at admissions and along the trails to the troll sculptures. Please allow a little extra time in your schedule.

Visit later in the day or on a weekday. Crowds are typically lighter in the afternoons and during the week. During July and August, The Wild Center is open until 7:00 p.m., giving you even more time to explore while avoiding the busiest hours.

Parking: On non-school days, once the main and meadow parking lots are full, overflow parking is available at LP Quinn Elementary School (294 Hosley Avenue). Follow posted signs and directions from staff as you arrive.

More Troll Fun Awaits! Ready for more? Learn the story behind the sculptures, enter to win a trip to see them, and discover how you can join the Adirondack Troll Adventure scavenger hunt around town. Get all the details here.

Snowarriors Irish Road Bowling

Grab your green gear, gather up your cooler, and join the Snowarriors for this uniquely fun event.

About the Event

• Like traditional Irish Road Bowling, the event is played on a country road with multiple obstacles such as turns, inclines, ruts, etc to make the game more challenging!
• Each team consists of four players. Two teams are matched up at a time to begin play. Each player rolls a bullet, an iron ball about the size of a bocce ball, using an underhanded technique. After Player 1 from each team takes their turn, all players move forward to the spot where the bullet landed. Player 2 then rolls from that location; this continues for all players.
• Once the first two teams have cleared the play area, the next two teams are brought in to begin their turn, similar to teeing off in golf. Each roll counts towards the team's total, and the team with the fewest rolls upon reaching the finish line is declared the winner. 
• In the event of a tie, the last roll of each tied team is measured, and the team whose roll traveled the farthest beyond the finish line wins the tie.
